Dinner of the Day.

[Mr. Tea]

I always feel a bit sad when I read about what you eat Luka, but this feels like you're deliberately trying to arouse our pity. Why didn't you just cook them longer?

Because then they might be pleasurable to eat, and doing things that are pleasurable is for degenerate papists, foreigners, homosexuals, etc.

 

[luka]

I eat well as a rule. I'd already eaten a proper meal that day but I was drunk so got some oven chips too. Those particular chips are poorly engineered so they burn on the outside before being cooked all the way through.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Have you ever found that tinned mushy peas smell like skunk? It's the weirdest thing.

 

[luka]

I haven't tbh. Lager famously, but not the peas. I must be buying the wrong brand,

If you have something like that you can put the heat lower and cook for longer to cook it through without burning the outside.

fried prawn rice topped with omelette and brown sauce.
a japanese dish apparently.

Yes but as it was the first time buying these oven chips I followed the instructions on the packet you smartarse cunt

 

[IdleRich]

Fair enough when it's a complicated thing like that it is best to go with the instructions.

 

[Leo]

yeah, rich, wtf?

 

[luka]

How do you do oven chips? Sit there watching them intently the whole time?

 

[Clinamenic]

But chips here are french fries, correct? Potato polyhedra?

 

[luka]

Yes but fatter

 

[luka]

Oven chips are kind of fake chips made from reconstituted potato and cooked in an oven instead of deep fried

 

[Mr. Tea]

Veritable parallelepipeds of pomme de terre.

 

[Clinamenic]

parallelepipeds

One of my favorite words as of late!

Have you had potatoes cooked like this? Quite literally cube roots:

YeH the Spanish and the Lebanese do that

 

[luka]

Like all Men of England I really really like eating potato

They're the boring but dependable thing you always order in a tapas restaurant if you're actually hungry rather than just looking for something tasty to go with your wine.

I can't even imagine what people in northern Europe ate before spuds were available.

I imagine porridge feature heavily. It doesn't really bear thinking about.
